| 23810585    | 2013 | Cell line : - Source : Chinese colorectal cancer patients Sample Type : - No. of Sample : 100 Chinese colorectal cancer patients Stage : - | real timeRT- PCR | Up-regulation | - | TYMS effect on lymph node metastasis in CRC might serve as a potential biomarker for LNM and a prognostic factor in CRC. Over-expression of TYMS is a predicting factor to the poor outcome in clinical colorectal cancer patients. |
| 12450430    | 2001 | Cell line : - Source : - Sample Type : - No. of Sample : - Stage : - | - | Up-regulation | - | The discordant TS expression between primary and metastatic tumors is a critical factor that must be taken into account when TS is being used as a predictive biomarker for the antitumor effect of 5-FU-based chemotherapy. A significantly higher expression of TS mRNA was observed in pulmonary and lymph node metastases compared with their respective primary tumors. In contrast, TS mRNA expression in hepatic metastases was significantly lower than in primary tumors. |

| Description | Thymidylate synthase catalyzes the methylation of deoxyuridylate to deoxythymidylate using 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (methylene-THF) as a cofactor. This function maintains the dTMP (thymidine-5-prime monophosphate) pool critical for DNA replication and repair. The enzyme has been of interest as a target for cancer chemotherapeutic agents. It is considered to be the primary site of action for 5-fluorouracil, 5-fluoro-2-prime-deoxyuridine, and some folate analogs. Expression of this gene and that of a naturally occuring antisense transcript rTSalpha (GeneID:55556) vary inversely when cell-growth progresses from late-log to plateau phase.   |
